Uncommitted

As the war in Gaza reverberates across the globe, Arab and Muslim Americans launch one of the largest protest voting campaigns in modern U.S. history. Following the organizers of the Uncommitted Movement from Dearborn to the Democratic National Convention, the film chronicles a community''s attempt to transform grief into political power. Through intimate vérité access, UNCOMITTED explores identity, belonging, coalition-building, and the enduring struggle of immigrant and marginalized communities to shape the democracy they call home.
